Florida crime rate
The FBI estimates 260.9 violent crimes and 1,176.1 property crimes per 100,000 residents of Florida in 2025. The violent crime rate is below the US rate of 327.6 and fell 5.2% from 2024.
Data as of 2025 (FBI estimate), checked October 30, 2026. How we got these numbers
Florida's FBI estimate for 2025 is 260.9 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, below the US rate of 327.6. Property crime was 1,176.1 per 100,000, 0.8 times the national 1,534.8. Both rates fell by about the same share from 2021: violent crime 22.7% from 337.3, property crime 22.5% from 1,517.6.
The US violent crime rate went from 387.0 to 327.6 over the same years. Aggravated assault fell 26.4%, to 193.9 per 100,000, and murder 25.6%, to 3.2. On average, agencies covering 85% of Florida's population reported each month in 2025 (lowest month: 82%).
The FBI estimate fills in for the agencies that did not report; some Florida agencies did not send a full year, so several city pages listed here show gaps.

Alphabetical, on purpose: the FBI advises against ranking places by these figures. A year that is not complete has no rate here, and its page explains the gap.

About this state's data
